Pros

Great company.

World-class management team.

Executives you can trust.

Very customer-focused.

Cons

Over time, the company has forgotten who made it great: engineers. There is simply too much talk and very little action. First and second-level managers do not have engineers' best interests at hand. Developer productivity is abysmal. Seriously, please look at LOC per engineer.

Advice to Management

Too much hierarchy and talk in engineering.

Establish a risk-taking attitude again in engineers. They have been smothered by incompetent managers.

Reward hard skills.

YOU CAN DO IT.

Screw EMC, Go NetApp :)
